Resistance Radio with John and Regan

As Native communities struggle with their autonomy, the symbol of the Haudenosaunee autonomy is the Two Row. But many of our communities struggle to stay on our path.

Trump and his ED Secretary don't really care if these mascots stay or go. Their presence here on this issue is strictly performative. This is about political alignment. It's about the base! It's about votes, congress, campaign contributions; it's about securing footholds at the school and community levels.

From a holy book covered in human flesh to both the North and the South engaged in the American Holocaust, the US and Americans refuse to own their true history.

Ross was the co-producer and he funded the production of THE LONG HOPE, our full length documentary. We discuss the film and its growing relevance in these trying times.

We are literally only one week into the New Year and the news cycle is INSANE. Trump hasn't even logged in a full year yet!

My emphasis in 2026 will be regarding Native identity; defending it, promoting it, defining it and protecting it.

If you take a racist bigot who abuses his wife, is angry and feels like his white privilege is under constant assault and make him rich and evil, you just turned Archie Bunker into Donald Trump. The trouble is that MANY Americans are fine with that.

We live in troubling times but much of it is history repeating itself. There is NOTHING happening now that hasn't been going on for a very long time. We must remember that.

2025 has proven to be an incredible year by almost any measure. 2026 may be an even bigger run off the cliff or a tipping point. This show is more important than ever in the world we are now living in.

The effort to dismantle the illegal doctrines of the US legal and legislative system is quite simply about rejecting being singled out simply for being Native people and cast as wards of the government. We are NOT incompetent! We are NOT inferior! We will NOT beheld in some twisted state of perpetual political and legal purgatory! But some are scared of taking such a bold stance. Some believe the...

Sam Alito has questioned this power and now Thomas and Gorsuch are challenging its constitutionality and general legality. To be clear the UN has called doctrines, policies and practices like this, racist, scientifically false, legally invalid, morally condemnable and socially unjust. So where are Kagan, Jackson and Sotomayor?

Last Tuesday was the 231st anniversary of the Canandaigua Treaty! Why celebrate broken promises. And don't get me started on the Washington belt.

In town for a screening of THE LONG HOPE so I had a chance to broadcast Resistance Radio from the WBAI studio this week, We do a little catch up and go to callers.

The Long Hope is our film that we are in the early stages of rolling out. I talk about why we made the film ans why we hope people will watch it.

The US has been more tyrannical and authoritarian than the king they revolted from Day 1 to the present. Trump or no Trump!

Almost twenty hours of Amtrak and the LIRR to get out to Hofstra and back but it was all worth it!

WPFW in Washington DC was kind enough to offer me a two-hour slot not only for Indigenous Peoples Day but to kick off their Fall Fund Drive. Call 800-222-9739 or go on-line to www.wpfwfm.org to donate!

Conquest, wards of the government, free checks, free college... yeah! Let's debunk some of this crap!

These special days and acknowledgements miss the mark. They blur what should be our message. We know what you did and we are fighting to make it right!

Only Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas have questioned the Trust Doctrine and Plenary Powers Doctrine. They all call themselves "justices", so where is the justice and where are Jackson, Kagan and Sotomayor?

The Doctrine of Christian Discovery was literally cited in a federal court ruling less than four weeks ago!

Tiana Morano is Shinnecock and lives in the Connetquot School District. She joins me to discuss the settlement agreement between the school district and NYSED over their use of T-Birds for their mascot.
